Chapter 580: I see
"When the Spaniards go to help the Japanese, will there be any problems in between? Will the Song people be able to resist the attack of the Japanese people? ”
Along the way, Xu Yan tactfully raised the issues he was worried about.
In the face of Xu Yan's worries, the Portuguese merchant looked like an old god was there, and replied without the slightest worry: "Sir, you don't have to worry about the force of the Song people at all, even if the Japanese people have the help of the Spaniards, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Song people." I can assure you that the Song people will definitely surprise the Japanese people. ”
Then, the Portuguese merchant told Xu Yan in detail about what happened on the American continent and everything he had seen with his own eyes.
Not to mention anything else, dozens of warships defeated the attack of more than 400 Western-style warships and pirates, as well as the disposable shoulder-mounted bazookas used to defeat the British, all of which surprised Xu Yan.
Of course, when fighting pirates, the Europeans did not see the tin fishing boats.
Otherwise, it would surprise him even more.
However, for the disposable health bazooka, Xu Yan was not too shocked.
Because, on the side of the Ming Dynasty, there are similar weapons.
What 'swarm', 'thunder', 'thunderbolt' and the like, are similar to disposable bazookas.
Therefore, Xu Yan believed that the kind of weapon that the Portuguese merchant spoke of was just that.
In fact, where did he know that the bazooka used by the Song people was much more powerful than the weapon in his impression.
There is no comparison at all.
It's just that Portuguese businessmen can't say these things too clearly.
After all, the Portuguese merchant is also a half-ass, he has only seen it.
However, the Portuguese were so confident in the combat power of the Song people, which caused Xu Yan to care.
Moreover, the scene of the bombardment of Osaka's commercial town just now. They also felt it clearly on the mountain bag.
That power, absolutely nothing.
If it is to fight against the Daming Naval Division at sea, the Daming Naval Division will be a total annihilation.
The sea ships of the Song people are really sharp.
The power of a salvo is simply a change in the color of the sky.
Well, even pirates like Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong will not have good fruits to eat against the fleet of the Song Empire.
The warships of the Song Empire are really sharp.
Even, Xu Yan thought that with the Song Empire coming to the East, maybe the strength of the Ming Dynasty's maritime frontier would also be reversed.
But. Xu Yan didn't worry too much about this.
After all, the Ming Dynasty didn't care much about things at sea.
Therefore, what happens at sea, the imperial court will not care at all.
The only ones who really care are the ministers and nobles who have maritime business, and they are the only ones who care about this.
However, they also care differently about things.
What they care about is whether their business can go smoothly, and they don't care who rules the affairs of the sea frontier.
The arrival of the Song fleet. How will Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong react?
If you don't know, the southeast sea will be chaotic for a while.
In this way, there is no way to do business.
It seems that after meeting the Song people. It is necessary to test their thoughts on coming to the East.
At the same time, I also have to find a chance to meet Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong.
Don't look at Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong as pirates, but they still have a lot of unclear connections with some powerful people on the Ming side.
Xu Yan is very familiar with the two of them. Who let him have a powerful nobleman standing behind him?
Therefore, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong were very polite to him.
Therefore. He could find a chance to meet these two sea tycoons.
Of course, first of all, he needed to know the thoughts of the Song people.
If the Song people had no ambitions for the southeast seas, then the sea areas of the Ming Dynasty could still remain stable, and their own business would not be affected.
This is the best result.
Don't look at Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong are attacking each other for the hegemony of the sea, but their goals are only against each other's people, and they have no touch for those maritime merchants.
The bottom line of this point, whether it is Li Xiang or Zheng Zhilong, they will not touch it with their brains-
Dividing Line –
About three miles away from Zhao Hongyu's camp, Tanaka, a samurai who had been sent out by Ishida Aido earlier, was stationed here with his men.
At this time, in addition to Tanaka, they were followed by a group of people with panicked expressions.
These people are none other than the culprits who provoked Zhao Hongyu's bombardment of Osaka's commercial town, and they are also the most unlucky guys in history, Ren Takeuchi, and his party.
It's just a small routine bribe, and it's not a big deal at all.
But it's so good that he won't die, and Takeuchi kicked it on the iron plate this time.
God knows how these foreigners are so stingy, and they shelled Osaka Commercial Town without giving money.
In fact, Ren Takeuchi is really the unlucky guy in the world, because even if he didn't accept bribes, Zhao Hongyu would definitely have to do other things and find a reason to make trouble.
It's just that Ren Takeuchi gave him an excuse, and Zhao Hongyu took advantage of the topic to play.
So, Ren Takeuchi is quite unlucky.
As long as this matter spreads, then Ren Takeuchi will definitely be unlucky.
Moreover, it is impossible to hide this matter.
What kind of subordinates are of Ren Takeuchi, in fact, he himself knows very well.
Now that things are so big, he doesn't believe that these people can still follow him.
Therefore, it will not be long before the truth of the matter will come out.
When that time comes, ...... yourself Woooooooooooo
Thinking of this, Ren Takeuchi was heartbroken.
But now that the matter has come to this, what can he do?
Leave everything to fate.
I hope that my daughter will be able to convince General Ishida Hiroshi that the punishment given to him will not be so severe.
That's the only thing Takeuchi can look forward to now.
Coincidentally, after he escaped from the town with his men, he met Tanaka and others.
Tanaka knew the general's father-in-law, and when he saw him, he quickly dismounted and comforted Takeuchi.
When Tanaka asked why Osaka's commercial town was shelled. Ren Takeuchi didn't hide anything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and told Tanaka.
Anyway, it's impossible to hide it, so it's better to say it yourself than to say it yourself.
In this way, it can also make others look up to themselves, and maybe they can fight for a leniency.
At this point, Tanaka can be regarded as knowing the beginning and end of the matter.
After listening to Takeuchi's story, the center of the field was churning endlessly.
First of all, Tanaka hated Takeuchi to death and despised what he did.
Actually, Takeuchi had a reputation within all the daimyo and samurai classes. Not good at all.
This guy relies on himself to be the general's father-in-law, and his daughter is favored by the general's side, and he has always acted unscrupulously.
Now that he's made such a big situation, it's impossible if Tanaka doesn't hate it.
At the same time, Tanaka also felt a little laughing and crying about the foreigners who shelled Osaka.
It's just a small bribe, and if you don't give it, you won't give it, so are you angry at shelling Osaka?
Yes, Takeuchi doesn't give you much face. But it's not a big deal at all.
This is a good thing, a bombardment made things bigger, the shogunate was beaten in the face, and the foreigners in the last were certainly not good.
Why is this so difficult?
Anyway. After Tanaka listened to Takeuchi's account of the cause and effect, he was also relieved.
At least, in the middle of this matter, there is nothing to do with the remnants of Tokugawa.
Know the way. Osaka Daimyo Ishida Aido sent himself out for the most important purpose besides finding an opportunity to meet those foreigners. It is to see if this matter is related to the Tokugawa remnants.
That's the most important thing.
Now, he can finally rest assured, because this matter was done by Takeuchi, and it has nothing to do with Tokugawa Yuin.
As a result, a large stone fell to the ground, and Tanaka was much more relaxed.
Subsequently, Tanaka sent his subordinates to take Takeuchi to the side of Ishida Aido, so that Tanaka could explain the cause and effect to the daimyo and let them rest assured.
On my own side, I am going to go to the foreigners to see if I can stabilize the other party, and then prepare for the shogunate with some things.
Tanaka is not stupid, he knows that this matter must not be over.
Although his own daimyo did not want to start a war with the other side, these foreigners shelled the business town of Osaka, which was no different from whistling and slapping two big mouths in the face of the shogunate.
Therefore, even if Ishida Aido didn't want to fight foreigners, the shogunate would send troops to fight foreigners.
After all, it was a matter of face for the shogunate.
Therefore, this matter is not counted by Ishida Aido, and it can only be seen by the shogunate.
What I can do is to stabilize these foreigners and keep them from leaving here.
When the shogunate army arrived, it would be none of his business.
Moreover, he can also take this opportunity to touch the heels of these foreigners, and at the same time check their military strength.
When the shogunate army comes, I will be able to explain it in detail.
Maybe after the shogunate defeated these foreigners, the spy himself could also get a little credit, and the last to rise a little bit was good.
Therefore, after sending his men to take Takeuchi and the others away, Tanaka took the rest of his men and began to advance in the direction of Shomachi.
After a short time of marching on the horse, the horse had returned, and reported to him that the foreigners had landed and established a simple camp.
After hearing the news, Tanaka shouted to God to help me.
In his opinion, since these foreigners have landed, they will definitely not leave in a short time.
In this way, you don't have to bother to stabilize them, which saves you a lot of trouble.
Then, now it depends on whether he can enter the other party's camp as an envoy.
"Come on, report before going to the other party's camp, and say that the envoy of the Osaka territory has asked for a meeting." (To be continued......)
